To celebrate the launch of their high quality coffee, Safeway brings free coffee break to PDX

For those who want to enjoy the fresh-roast taste of their favorite, local coffee shop without leaving home, Safeway Select™ just released four new coffees with roast profiles similar to the most popular artisan coffee brands. Safeway is bringing a free coffee break to the City of Roses, who are no strangers to the power of a good caffeine kick.

The small-batch, dark roasted coffees are expertly blended from the highest quality, 100% Arabica beans for smooth taste and fresh aroma, and available exclusively at Safeway. Choose from Bold Reserve, Coffee Founder’s Blend, Bold French Roast, Ethiopia Sidamo, or Costa Rica Tarrazu. The coffees are available in whole beans, ground and bulk.

Safeway is hitting the streets of Portland October 5th – 7th to give Portlanders the chance to try the coffee for free, as well as passing out coupons and Safeway gift cards.

In conjunction with the Street Team promotion, Safeway will be running a contest all week on Z100, where listeners can enter to win an “Office Coffee Break” each day, provided by Safeway. Here’s the dates and times to find the Safeway Street Teams:

LEI Medical is enjoying new-found expansion and growth thanks to a facility move in October of 2010. Founded in 1993, LEI Medical has consistently improved the safety and quality of veterinary medical equipment, expanding to the point of needing to move their operations into a new, 10,000 square foot building space at this time last year.

CEO and Founder of LEI Medical Brian Lawson knew the company needed to move when their growth exceeded their manufacturing capabilities. Now comfortably housed in double the space they were just a couple of years ago, Lawson says the space, built in 2004, also makes delivery more streamlined and efficient.

“It’s exciting to be celebrating our first year anniversary in this new space,” says Lawson. “The manufacturing facility makes it easier for us to create and test new products and initiate new concepts. It’s really helped us to focus on serving our customers to the best of our ability. The new surroundings have been an inspiration in several exciting ways.”

The new facility includes a dedicated clean room for product assembly and testing, dedicated space for precision manufacturing of LEI parts, inventory management, shipping, customer service and sales. The space allows for two state-of-the-art manufacturing machines that take raw material and cut them to extraordinarily demanding specifics for the high quality, precision products that LEI is known for.

“It’s important to us to keep moving forward,” says Lawson. “We’re always looking at what’s next- what can be done to make our equipment more user friendly, safer for vets and pets, and new technology. This larger space allows us to do all of that and more.”

Lawson goes on to explain that the new, bigger facility has allowed for greater scope of work and focus on new products for the veterinary marketplace. LEI takes pride in the fact that LEI products are 100% American made and assembled in their facility in Oregon.
